Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project hitting iOS this week
Time hasn't been kind to our old pal Duke Nukem, but fans will soon be able to relive Duke's glory days with an iOS port of the 2002 PC side-scroller Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, due out later this week from publisher Spawn Studios. Duke's upcoming iOS debut follows up on last year's DLC-bundled PC re-release of Duke Nukem 3D, which is set to hit the PS Vita soon courtesy of Hotline Miami publisher Devolver Digital. An Xbox Live Arcade version of Manhattan Project launched in 2010, joining a 2008 XBLA port of Duke Nukem 3D.
XBLA deals for next week are decidedly anti-alien
Do you hate aliens more than every single one of Will Smith's cinematic personas combined? We don't blame you: Extraterrestrials are the worst. We plan on getting some cathartic release with next week's XBLA deals, which mark down a few of the platform's more anti-alien titles.
XBLA in Brief: Space Ark, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, Risk: Factions
Three new games this week. Three. All are 800 MS Points and all are radically different. We've got the cutesy, Breakout-esque Space Ark, some 2D action with Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project and a classic board game with some new twists in RISK: Factions. See all three after the break. Note: Space Ark actually released last week, but we were kind of busy at the time. [iTunes] Subscribe to XBLA in Brief directly in iTunes. [Zune] Subscribe to the XBLA in Brief directly.

Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project kicks XBLAss June 23
Duke Nukem is set to return (once again) to his 2D roots in Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project for Xbox Live Arcade ($10) on June 23. The game -- originally released on PC in 2002 -- sees Duke blasting aliens and saving babes in glorious 2.5D. See for yourself in the new screens and trailer ...
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project confirmed for XBLA
After being outed by a handful of ratings organizations, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project has finally been confirmed for release on Xbox Live Arcade. A listing for the game recently appeared on the official Xbox website, bringing with it no pricing or release date details -- though it does confirm that it falls under the "Action" genre. Oh, thank goodness. We were afraid it might have become a casual puzzler during its transition to consoles. We've contacted Microsoft to see if anyone can fill in the blanks in regards to the game's price and due date. We're betting it launches sometime in August, which would be appropriate, since we all know August is Stripper and Rocket Launcher Appreciation Month. [Via Shacknews]
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project gets some from the ESRB
It would appear the side-scrolling shoot-em-up PC Gamer called "a blast" back in 2002, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, will eventually find its way onto Xbox Live Arcade. It's happening, right? Like, we've seen a couple ratings pop up for the game, so it's gotta be a done deal -- come on, will somebody just officially announce this already? The latest indication (and hopefully precursor to a real announcement) comes from the ESRB, which offers the listing you see above. Duke Nukem 3D creator 3D Realms, whose last project was Prey Invasion for the iPhone and iPod Touch back in June of 2009, is listed as the publisher on the potential XBLA title. We've sent in word to both 3D Realms and Microsoft for comment and will let you know what we hear back.
Duke Nukem Manhattan Project rated for Xbox 360 by OFLC
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project continues its silent march toward a possible Xbox Live Arcade release, with the title rated M by Australia's rating board for Xbox 360. The game was previously classified by Korea's Game Rating Board and has yet to be accompanied by an announcement by Microsoft. As in Korea, the Australian classification request was submitted by Microsoft. Take-Two Interactive, the go-to publisher for Duke Nukem-related info, tells Joystiq it is not "publishing this title and [doesn't] have any info." We've followed up with Microsoft for a nuke of knowledge on what their plans are. In the meantime, the PC version of the competent 2002 side-scroller can be found on GOG.com for $6.
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project rated in Korea
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project has been classified by the Korea's Game Rating Board, as spotted by GamerBytes. No platforms are listed, but it is being published by Microsoft Korea, leading to speculation that it may be published for Xbox Live Arcade. For PC players, the well-reviewed side-scroller from 2002 is available currently on GOG.com for $6. Check out the trailer after the break to get an idea of what this game looks like -- unless, of course, it receives a facelift for XBLA. [Via GamerBytes]
Joyswag: Duke Nukem Manhattan Project (Party like it's 2002!)
[Update: And we're all done, thanks to everyone who participated, and congrats to the winners! We'll be contacting you soon!]Hey guys, we were cleaning out the Joystiq attic, and we found this old post from 2002 (back in the old days when Joystiq was still a mimeographed newsletter). We thought we'd pass it along."Hey dudes and dudettes, can you believe the No Child Left Behind Act was signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush? And what's up with the ex-currencies of all euro-using nations ceasing to be legal tender in the European Union? Yeah, 2002 has been a crazy year so far, but it's about to get even more radical, cause we're giving away [please turn mimeograph over now] 10 copies of Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project." Now here's the crazy thing: We're still gonna honor it. Luckily, we've teamed up with our friends at Good Old Games to give away 10 digital copies of Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, just added to the site today. But in order to be eligible to win, you have to leave the exact comment you would have back in 2002. It's silly, we know, but just play along*, and we'll randomly pick 10 of you to get a code for the game tomorrow. Check out all the legal stuff after the break. *Notice: This whole 2002 shtick is just a joke -- there was no Joystiq back in '02. Duh!
